OK.

Loading "by hand" is, unfortunately, the current technique.
Amidxtaped (what amrecover uses to process the tapes) uses amrestore
to process the tape. Amrestore doesn't know about changers or anything
else in an Amanda configuration (it's meant to be a stand alone utility).
And amidxtaped was never taught about them, either.
There is a discussion going on right now in amanda-hackers about the
changes needed to get this to behave better. Feel free to join in :-).
